Default Great VA story

On page A18 of The Daily Sun today, there is a wonderful story of compassion by a VA male nurse at the VA Salisbury, NC.

A homeless veteran came in late one night to the ER with huge blisters on the soles of his feet. The nurse washes, cleanses, and dresses the oozing blisters, gives him fresh socks from a supply room but notices the ragged sneakers of the veteran. The soles were unglued and flopping with no support or protection. The nurse took off his own, nearly new, Nikes, and laced them onto the homeless veteran's feet.
